"Winter Nest"

acrylic, metallic, on canvas, unframed, 20" x 20"

What many people don't realize is that nests continue to be used by birds and other small animals during the winter. When temperatures drop, clusters of wintering over birds have been found packed into the nests they used over the summer, or requisitioned from now absent migratory owners. This nest has been painted by the ice and snow of deep winter creating a beautiful frozen sculpture.
